PPRREERREEQQUUIISSIITTEESS Before you install your 5lassware Washer, you need to prepare your site for installation. Carefully examine the location where you intend to install your 5lassware Washer. You must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In addition, a hot water source, a drain, a purified water source Pif applicableQ, and an electrical source must be located near the installation site. Carefully read this chapter to learn:

• the hot water source requirements for your installation site.

• the purified water source requirements for your installation site.

• the electrical supply requirements for your installation site.

• the drainage requirements for your installation site.

Chapter 2: Prerequisites


P#o%&ct Se#+ice -./00.122.341/ 6

Refer to Appendix C: Glassware Washer Specifications for complete 5lassware Washer electrical and environmental conditions, specifications and requirements.

Hot Water Requirements An existing hot water supply may be used as the hot water source for your 5lassware Washer. However, the washer requires the inlet water temperature to be greater than 120[F P49[CQ to fully activate powdered detergents and raise the glassware temperatures to achieve fast and complete drying. Hotter water will produce better washing results. The maximum temperature of the inlet water should be no more than 150[F P66[CQ. Water pressure must be between 20-120 psi P138-827 kPaQ at the washer and provide a minimum of 1.25 gallons P4.7 litersQ per minute flow rate. A shut-off valve should be installed in the water supply line plumbed to the washer. The hot water inlet valve on the 5lassware Washer is equipped with a female 3b8 NPT fitting.

Purified Water Requirements If you intend to use purified water for the final rinse cycles, a purified water supply is required. The washer can be connected to an in-house, pressurized, purified water tapd a water purification systemd or a purified water container. The purified water system must be provided with supply piping of sufficient size to permit at least 1.25 gallons P4.7 litersQ per minute of flow P3b8" internal diameter PIDQ minimum tube is recommendedQ. The purified water inlet valve on your washer is equipped with a plastic hose barb connection to accommodate 3b8" P9.5 mmQ ID flexible plastic or rubber hose. Use a spring or band hose clamp to secure the hose to the hose barb connection. The hose barb connection may be removed from the valve to expose

Pressurization is not required for the purified water source.

7 P#o%&ct Se#+ice -./00.122.341/


a male e" - 11-1b2 NH hose coupling. A rigid plastic, tin- lined, or stainless steel tubing and fitting can be connected to the washer fitting.

All connections on the purified water system must be airtight so that the washer pump is not allowed to pull air instead of water.

If the purified water is stored in a carboy, at least 5.8 gallons P22 litersQ must be available for each wash cycle. If all 5.8 gallons are not available at the start of a wash cycle, but instead are produced concurrently with the wash cycle, the production rate must permit at least 1.25 gallons P4.7 litersQ per minute to be delivered to the washer. In addition, all 5.8 gallons P22 litersQ must be made available over a 5-minute period.

Electrical Requirements If your 5lassware Washer is an Undercounter or Freestanding model, it should be hard-wired directly into a junction box using conduit. A 20 Amp circuit breaker or fuse is required for models rated at 115V P60 HzQ or 230V P50b60 HzQ. If your 5lassware Washer is a Mobile model, a dedicated electrical outlet is required. A 20 Amp circuit breaker or fuse is required for models rated at 115V P60 HzQ or 230V P50b60 HzQ. 115V models are equipped with a 20 Amp NEMA 5-20P plug. 230V models are equipped with a 15 Amp NEMA 6-15P plug. It may be necessary to remove the plug and install a different plug to match the available receptacle.

• safely clean the stainless steel interior • maintain the water fill valve • clean the overflow dome • remove the top and side panels of your washer • clean the filter screen

Maintaining the Stainless Steel Interior The interior of your 5lassware Washer is stainless steel.

NEVER USE METAL SCOURIN5 PADS ON THE STAINLESS STEEL INTERIOR. METAL SCOURIN5 PADS CAN SCRATCH OR LEAVE METAL CHIPS THAT WILL RUST.

☞


Chapter 5: Maintaining Your Washer

P#o%&ct Se#+ice -./00.122.341/ 52

To maintain the appearance and quality of the stainless steel interior, perform the following tasks as needed:

• Wipe the outer edges on the inside door panel to remove particles and residue that occur during loading.

• Use a sponge sprinkled with non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner to gently wipe the washer tank and door to remove surface discoloration caused by exposure to halogenated compounds or steel parts. In some cases, the finish may be slightly dulled by this action.

If your water has a high mineral content, film or spots may develop on the washer interior. If the procedures listed above do not eliminate the film or spots, you may need to follow the steps below to run your washer through a special cycle. To remove film or spots from the washer interior: 1. Remove all glassware from the washer. 2. Choose the 5lass Program, Steam OFF, Pure Rinse

OFF, and set the drying time to zero. 3. After the first fill is complete, open the washer and

Maintaining the Air Gap If you employed an air gap during the installation of your washer, you need to clean the air gap at least once a month. The air gap is not part of the washerd therefore, it is not covered by the washer warranty. The air gap protects the washer against water backing up in the event of a clogged drain. Most types of air gaps are easy to clean. Simply follow the manufacturerps directions for maintaining your air gap.

Maintaining the Water Fill Valve The filter screen of the water fill valve, illustrated in Figure 5-1 below, may require periodic cleaning to remove trapped particles. A low water fill occurs if the blockage is not removed.

Check the air gap for build-up any time your washer is not draining well.
